Some train services running through Croydon are being either delayed or cancelled on Sunday morning (April 8).

A fault on a train between Balham and Selhurst train stations is causing disruption to journeys between these stations as well as on the line down to Caterham.

The 7.07am London Victoria to West Croydon service came to a halt just outside of Streatham Common due to the fault.

Train crew was working with engineers on-site as of 9am in a bid to resolve the problem, and an empty non-passenger train arrived to meet the faulty unit. The two were to be joined together in order to remove the broken one from the line.

National Rail has said: “We are still running a regular service, however some services are subject to cancellation, alteration and delays.

Passengers who have already bought tickets between these routes are instead being encouraged to use London buses.

Commuters can use their tickets on buses between West Croydon and London stations on routes 194/433 and any other reasonable route, as well as Caterham and London stations on routes 407, and any other reasonable route.
